Welcome to another edition of our Market Commentary with RFG Advisory’sChief Investment Officer, Rick Wedell!
Tariffs are making headlines—again—and they’re not just a political talking point. In this episode, Rick explains why the new 10% tariff is more than just a headline grabber—and how it could impact taxes.
What’s covered:
Why the effective U.S. tariff rate is jumping from 10% to 23%
What that could mean for consumer prices—and how soon you’ll feel it
Why Wall Street is watching recession signals (but not hitting the panic button just yet)
How international markets and bonds are reacting compared to U.S. equities
The potential ripple effect on business investment and economic confidence
But most importantly, Rick explains why now is not the time to make emotional investment decisions. Markets may be volatile, but if you’re in a diversified portfolio, you’re already well-positioned to weather this kind of storm.
So before you make any sudden moves, take a breath, and hit play on this special episode. And, as always – if you have ANY questions or concerns, I am here. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
